[The potentials of transvaginal echography in the diagnosis of hyperplastic processes and cancer of the endometrium].
Ultrasonograms of 69 patients suspected for endometrial hyperplasia and cancer have been surveyed in retrospect. Transvaginal ultrasonographic findings were compared with clinical data and hysteroscopic findings and verified by morphologic examination of endometrial biopsy samples. The study demonstrated that transvaginal ultrasonography identified 88.4% of these conditions and the clinical examination and hysteroscopy 46.4% and 89.4%, respectively. It suggests that diagnosis of endometrial hyperplasia and cancer should recruit transvaginal ultrasonographic scanning, especially in mass screening.
